Ferrell, who has enough AP credit hours to declare as an incoming junior, looks forward to studying psychology this fall. “I’ve always enjoyed analyzing and looking at big-picture and little-picture, so I think psychology will be a good fit,” she said. “I still have a lot of dots to connect, but I’m looking forward to the advisors helping me connect those.” Ferrell is grateful for the scholarship, which allows her to focus more on school and start planning her future.

I am the product of a loving and caring family. The love that they’ve given me and the opportunities they have given me have gotten me here.” “My achievements are not my own, and they never have been.
